Geesh, sorry to flood this post ( I guess its my post...??)...anyhow, I just searched for record scores and it turns out a friend of mine still holds the NFAA outdoor records for Field, hunter and Animal!!! He's from your guys neck of the woods too! I knew he had won some titles through the years, but I didn't know it was record setting stuff.

Adult Male TRAD  (Record Scores for 56 Field - 56 Hunter - 28 Animal and Aggregate Score as of July 2006)

Aggregate    D. Eatmon WA    1994      2395
Animal         T. Driscoll  CA     2004      532
Animal         D. Eatmon  WA    1994      532 *
Field           D. Eatmon  WA    1994      946
Hunter        D. Eatmon  WA    1994      917

That is some unreal shooting. Dave was shooting with us at a barbecue last summer, my dad and two other guys were shooting compounds while Dave and I shot Trad... We had a shooting game going where you would lose points on certain parts of the target, first guy to 100 wins.... we were at 45 yards. My dad is a fair shot with his compound. When Dave it 100, my dad had like 94.... and...being a fair shot myself (Fair, being key word)... I had +7 points!!! (the perimeter of the target was like -5 or something like that!)  He is fun to watch shoot!

That is some awesome shooting!

Matt shoots freestyle,  depends on the day which bow he is shooting.  I know he has a new bow,  can't remember the name right now,  but I am sure he'll chime in here with it.  Or he might just go back to old reliable,  "woody" his Bowtech Commander.  The real questions is what bow will he be hunting with this year since the Allegiance is gone?

Maitland Zeus.  Probably THE BEST bow that I have ever shot for competition.  We shall see next week.  Anyway.  No hunting bow right now.  We shall see what August brings.

Nope most have not and even fewer have ever even seen them.  They are made in Reno.  The guy just started making bows this last fall he has 2 models right now.  The Zeus which is 38" ATA and the Retribution that is 33" i think.  Both IBO at 318 not blistering fast but they are definately shooters.  For 2011 he will bump up the IBO speeds to 340 on the hunting models.  Here are a couple pics.  The target is a 60 yard group.

I can verify that Matt shoots it pretty darn well.  I shot with him and Scott at lunch today,  and Matt was dialed in. Scott was... well Scott.  LOL  That bow is definitely a shooter and good looking to,  should hang well in your stand there Matt.

Heading up Tuesday after work to Darrington,  looking forward to elk burgers... Thanks Matt!  LOL  I'll be bringing the venison burger.  That should go well with some ice cold micro brews and a nice cuban for after.....  Good news Matt.... No SOCO or Red Stag on this trip.... unless you want me to bring some!   :yike:

Hornseeker.... Your bow took 2nd place in the Senior Trad NFAA National championship!   Beat 4 of the 5 guys shooting high dollar Olympic recurves.  5 days of shooting kind of wore me out though,  just got the trailer home a bit ago.  So you now have a WSAA State Outdoor Championship and a NFAA National Outdoor 2nd place for your bow.  Got lots of compliments on it,  they all wanted to know who made it.  

The guy who took 1st,  Bobby Grahm from Oklahoma was a blast to shoot with,  he won both the Indoor NFAA nationals in Louisville and now the Outdoor this year.  Someone mentioned it may have only happened 4 other times in Trad division.  I'll be heading to Louisville if I can to challenge him there this winter.  

Kudos to the Darrington Archers for putting on a great tourney,  hosting that many archers for 5 days was a lot of work.

Looked at scores, looks like you'll have your work cut out for you with that Grahm feller...

Did you see what that Dugan Denton kid scored.... 1475... kid a fricken machine. if he can stay on it, he will be a force to be reckoned with... matter fact, he could be an olympic hopeful...

Funny thing ... Dugie and his Dad are friends with Matt on here.... So he was staying in Matt's trailer.  Met him down there,  great young man.  He was at the practice range every night for hours.  The kid can really shoot.  the kid can eat too.... Matt did an elk burger burn for a bunch of the shooters,  I think they were 1/3 # and he stuffed down 2 of them.  His Dad is on the USA Paraolympic team,  Army disabled vet.  His son set 2 or 3 new National records while he was at it this year.
